Sir, I am currently pursuing Btech CSE at VIT Vellore (category 4) for the last 1 month. I have now got an offer from ISI Kolkata for BSDS course. I love maths as well as coding. I understand from the syllabus of BSDS course that it has more emphasis on rigourous theoretical maths. I am from Kolkata, so an advantage for being at home. What is the job opportunity for newly introduced BSDS Course in comparison to BTech CSE from VIT Vellore.

Ans: If you are passionate about mathematics and data science theory, ISI Kolkata’s BSDS is a top-tier option with unmatched mathematical rigor, and the ISI brand is highly respected in analytics, finance, and research. However, since it’s a relatively new program, campus placements may take some time to match the scale of established B.Tech CSE programs. VIT Vellore has strong placement records, especially in software roles, but ISI can open niche opportunities in high-end analytics, research, and PhD pathways. Being from Kolkata also reduces living expenses, which is an added benefit.

My son is currently pursuing his B DES from Anant National University. What are the career prospects after BDES. Kindly let me know. is it better to go for PG in the chosen field or first gain work experience?
Ans: After getting his B.Des., your son can do many different jobs. A bachelor's degree in design allows him to work for design consulting firms, advertising agencies, product design firms, fashion houses, or even start his own design company.

His job goals and personal tastes will help him decide whether to get a PG degree or work experience. Getting a PG degree might help him if he wants to learn more about advanced ideas or become an expert in a certain design area. It allows him to learn more, improve what he does, and build a strong business network. In addition, an Online PG Degree route could give him more freedom by letting him keep working while he studies.

In contrast, getting work experience right after getting his B.Des. can also be helpful. It gives him real-life creative problems to solve, improves his problem-solving skills, and lets him build a collection of projects. In addition, working in the field gives you important experiences that you can only sometimes learn in a classroom, like how to deal with clients, design things, and handle projects.

In the end, tell your son to carefully consider all of his choices, considering his personal preferences and long-term job goals. He should always learn, change, and grow in the fast-paced field of design, whether he gets a PG degree first or gets work experience first.

sir am 26 yrs old . and I was doing company secretary couse but unfortunately couldn't clear in 2024 i join my father's personl office he was a accountant and later started his own firm and he was a advocate.. but sometimes I feel that ca degree is important for our office work when it comes to audit . so for providing ace to office I want to pursue ca but it's too hard as am not able to clear cs like ( 199 ) marks left with only 1 marks to pass . so I have a doubt that am not able to pas cs so how can I pass ca . i don't talk with my parents about my this thinking .. it's like am able to clear cs ? with ofc ? or not ? or it's just a bad decision for me ! please sir replyyyt !
Ans: Dear Priyanka,

Thank you for being so honest about everything!

Do you like CA and CS first of all? This is the first question you have to ask yourself!

The next question I want to you ask yourself is, ‘am I scoring less marks because I have not studied / lack of interest or lack of understanding of concepts?’ Seek help if you really want to clear these exams!

Next question is ask yourself , “what comes naturally to me and I love doing it?”. It can be anything…. cooking, baking, teaching, accounting, handling customers in your dad’s office, taking care of office administration, etc, list out everything and then home down to one thing and start working on it with honesty of purpose, let that become your way to earning money!

And please sit and have a heart to heart chat with your parents!
If verbal communication is a problem, write a letter to them… I am giving you options, choose what is comfortable to you , but talk to your parents!

All the very best…
